Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

MacLeod Andrews delivers a powerhouse performance in Once Dead, bringing Jack's internal struggles to life with a voice that alternates between raw intensity and tender vulnerability. The pacing is impeccable, seamlessly shifting from moments of quiet introspection to heart-pounding action. Phillips' writing is stark and unflinching, painting a vivid picture of war's psychological toll on its survivors. However, the audiobook occasionally feels too heavy-handed in its attempts at emotional resonance, which can make for longeurs in places where more nuance might have sufficed. Despite this, Once Dead remains a must-listen for fans of literary fiction and war stories, offering a deeply personal and unflinching look at the consequences of war on the soul.
